One of the problems with pharmaceuticals (as opposed to most natural remedies) is the fact that, whenever you swallow a pill or receive an injection, you are forced to place your trust in whoever manufactured the medication.

There is no way to determine beforehand whether or not the dose you are taking is safe and effective — you can only rely on the assumption that the drug has been manufactured according to rigorous standards and thoroughly tested in regard to its efficacy and purity.   Continue reading “Big Pharma labs routinely delete toxic drugs’ failed test results, then ship them to US customers”

FREETOWN , Sierra Leone, Dec. 11 (UPI) — Sierra Leone officials discovered the bodies of over 100 Ebola virus victims in a remote part of the country, suggesting that the country’s death count has been underestimated.

A World Health Organization (WHO) team was sent to the eastern Kono region to investigate the increase in Ebola cases. It said Wednesday it found and buried 87 bodies, and 25 others were found piled in a cordoned section of a local hospital. Bodies of Ebola victims remain infectious, and safe burials are an element of containing the disease; health officials are concerned many Ebola cases in the Kono area, known for its diamond mines, have been unreported. The Kono region, with a population of about 350,000, reported only 119 Ebola cases through Tuesday.   Continue reading “More Ebola victims found in Sierra Leone”

Aedes aegypti CDC-GathanyNatural Blaze – by Heather Callaghan

Last Thursday, a town hall meeting at Harvey Government Center in Key West drew a large crowd that erupted in opposition to a proposal to release genetically modified mosquitoes this coming Spring. It’s a proposal from a seemingly strange choice – the United Kingdom.

British company Oxitec is petitioning the U.S. Government for permission to release male GE Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that contain a gene whereby they die unless receiving an antidote in the form of antibiotic tetracycline. The males released will live long enough to mate, but the offspring will die before maturation. The proposal that is now gaining ground has been in preparation for three years, with significant involvement by Wellcome Trust. In 2012, the plan to go through was thwarted when a resolution didn’t pass.   Continue reading “British Company Offers No Reassurance to Concerns of Proposal to Release GM Mosquitoes in U.S.”

TEHRAN, Dec. 11 (UPI) — There is no oil-for-goods deal currently in place between Iran and Russia, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh said Thursday.

“The barter of Iran’s oil against Russian commodities is not true and no such an agreement has ever been signed,” the minister said.

Zanganeh has hinted that the Iranian government endorsed such a deal, but nothing was formalized. Both sides already cooperate in a variety of fields, with Russia supplying fuel for Iran’s nuclear reactor at Bushehr.   Continue reading “Iran: No oil swap deal in place with Russia”

With the mass production of genetically modified soy, Monsanto and Cargill produced some big plans for feeding the fish of the sea. But the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board, and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority decided not to participate in these plans – as it could lead to an environmental disaster.

Due to environmental and health concerns revolving around fish given GMO feed that code for antibiotic resistance, Norwegian authorities have stopped approving GM feed for fish. This applies to 8 of the 19 GMO feed varieties that the biotech industry currently pushes on fish farms.   Continue reading “Authorities Reverse GMO Fish-Food Approval over Environmental Concerns”

US Airstrikes Against ISIL not Meant to Destroy ISIL

Instead of deterring the radical Islamist group, American airstrikes against them have accomplished two things: they have increased ISIL recruitment while at the same time have destroyed and degraded Syria’s infrastructure, murdering innocent Syrian civilians along the way.   Continue reading “US Doesn’t Want to Stop ISIL – Only Exploit them for Other Means”

The legacy of back room wheelin’ and dealin’ by the drug industry, which routinely pays off doctors and academic researchers to hawk oftentimes dangerous and ineffective pharmaceuticals and medical devices, could soon be blown wide open by newly enacted legislation passed as part of the Affordable Care Act of 2010.

The Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which was successfully moved through the Senate with the help of an extensive investigation led by Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), provisions that doctors who receive payoffs from drug or vaccine companies must disclose this when pushing new therapies or medical procedures from what would otherwise appear to be unbiased intentions.   Continue reading “Big Pharma’s secret payments to corrupt doctors, scientists finally to be exposed by US government”

In the same week that President Obama issued his administrative amnesty sparing millions from deportation, the feds busted a criminal ring of illegal immigrants that used stolen identities to defraud the U.S. government out of $7.2 million in tax refunds.

The mastermind of this sophisticated operation is a resourceful delinquent in Frankfurt, Delaware who runs a landscaping and cleaning business called “Las Tres Mujeres” (the three women in Spanish). Her name is Linda Avila and she’s admitted in federal court that she filed more than 1,700 fraudulent tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) using stolen identities assigned to migrant workers—mostly from Mexico—living in the U.S. illegally.   Continue reading “Obama Amnesty as Feds Bust Illegal Aliens That Got $7.2 Mil from IRS with Stolen IDs”

While the media coverage of the Feinstein report is talking about what the “evil CIA” may have done to some prisoners and whether or not the information extracted from those prisoners was actionable, missing is a discussion of when the congress was briefed about the techniques used. To paraphrase a line from Howard Baker during the “Watergate Hearings,” America wants to know, “What did Congress know and when did they know it?”

Understand the purpose of this post is not to argue which interrogation was or wasn’t torture, that will be handled in a later post, the purpose of this post is to point out the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party congressional members who sat in meetings with the CIA, being briefed on enhanced interrogation, and now 9-12 years after being briefed are mendaciously claiming surprise and horror.    Continue reading “Feinstein’s Duplicity: 68 Congressional Members Briefed On Enhanced Interrogation From 2001-2007”

Released on 9 December, the so-called Feinstein report, after long-time US Senator Dianne Feinstein who chaired the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that compiled the document, probes crimes of torture and enforced disappearance of terrorist suspects by the Bush-era CIA.*

“It has taken four years since the report was finalised to reach this point,” said Ben Emmerson in a statement.

Now it is time to take action, he added. “The individuals responsible for the criminal conspiracy revealed in today’s report must be brought to justice, and must face criminal penalties commensurate with the gravity of their crimes,” he said.   Continue reading “UN Human Rights Expert Calls for ‘Prosecution of CIA, US Officials for Crimes Committed During Interrogations’”

Charlotte, NC –-(Ammoland.com)- Last week, Associated Press reporter Matt Stroud incorrectly implied that the recent increase in firearm-related background checks run through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) frequently results in violent criminals beating the system and acquiring guns.

Noting that in situations in which NICS cannot complete a check on a prospective gun buyer within three business days, a firearm dealer is allowed to transfer a firearm to the person, Stroud hyperbolically wrote;   Continue reading “AP Reporter Struggles with Facts Looking for Negative Spin on Gun Sales Surge”
